Tabriz

Tabriz has been an important weaving center for at least half a millennium. While larger room-sized Tabriz carpets are a familiar and desirable commodity in the antique carpet trade, smaller carpets and rugs are rarer and consequently less well known. This piece maintains the soft palette and fineness of design for which the group is renowned. In recent times many Tabriz pieces from well into the twentieth century have been antique washed or color stripped to achieve an antique aesthetic. This piece is the real deal. Its natural cream tones and ochre accents work perfectly with a refined all-over design of repeat vegetal design in the classic “Herati pattern”. The composition is framed by an equally delicate and refined border.
